If Murphy is not traded, then he along with Ike and Duda could be in play at 1B, with Satin as the righty platoon guy.

Ditto for 2B with Murph and EY, and maybe Flores. And in the OF, CY, EY and Lagares could be in play for 2 of the spots. Of course, SS is basically Tejada, unless they can get Drew. If they can, then add Tejada as a 2B/SS backup.

And unless they sign a lefty to PH, then I imagine Duda/Ike would be the lefty PH when Satin starts, or EY is the lefty PH if Murph is at 2B and CY is in LF. But that’s not ideal. Another lefty to PH would help.

Competition through the minors and into the Majors is a vital component of developing a mentally tough team like the Cardinals have.

You just don’t get that when you throw a whole bunch of aging carpetbaggers together backed up by scrubs and non prospects.

It does resemble a guest list at a Halloween ball doesn’t it?

Thu, 23 Jan 2014 17:49:00 +0000http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=140528#comment-1251180Spot on. Best case is one is good enough to be traded. I guess more so Duda – he’s making 1.6 million and if you extrapolate his 2013 half season to a full season, he’s a guy with 30 HR potential for 1.6 million dollars. There would have to be an AL team that could use his services.
